PBKS’ bowlers really dropped the ball in that match, huh? DC just ran away with it. Newspress seems like a solid platform, but is it really unbiased these days? Everyone claims to be, but we know how that goes. I appreciate their focus on breaking news and tech, though—those are my jam. But do they ever dive deep into international affairs, or is it mostly local? Also, how do they manage to stay so timely without cutting corners? I’d love to hear more about their process. What’s your take on their entertainment coverage—hit or miss?
